GENTLEjMEN: Some two years ago I was so run down that I lacked strength., had no appetite
and could not sleep nights. Sometimes it seemed as though my back would break in two after stooping.
I had to get up many times during the night to urinate and go often through the day. After having
the best physicians prescribe for me without relief, I decided from my s3rraptoms that the medicine I
needed was Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the; great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. After trying a sam
ple bottle with good results, I purchased six bottles of the regular size, and after taking them was en
tirely cured. 'Swamp Root is a wonderful remedy when a man is not feeling "well, after exposure and
loss of sleep and irregular meals. It is also a great medicine to tone up a man's system. Other mem
bers of the Poliee force are using and recommending Swamp-Root. They, like myself, cannot say too
much in praise of this great remedy.
The Officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as myself, thank you for the good you
haveaccomplished in the compounding of Swamp-Root.

If you are sick or "feel badly," begin taking the famous
new discovery. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
. as your kidneys are well they will holp all the other organs
to health. A trial will convince any one.
- "Weal: and unhealthy kidneys arc responsible for more
sickness and suffering than any other disease; therefore,
when through neglect or other causes, kidney trouble Is per
mitted to continue, fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney
trouble Irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleep
less and irritable. Makes you pass water often through the
day and obliges you to get up many times during the night
Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, pain or dull acho in the back, joints and muscles;
makes your head ache' and back ache, causes indigestion,
stomach and liver trouble; you get a sallow, yellow complexion!
makes you feel as though you had heart trouble; you may have
plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste away.
Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take, and is used In the leading
hospitals, recommended by physicians in their private practice,
and is taken by doctors themselves, because they recognize In
it the greatest and most successful remedy that science has
ever been ablo to compound.
EDITORIAL. NOTICE Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is so remarkably successful that a
special arrangement has been made by which all of our readers who have not already tried it may have a samplo bottle sent

Got Array So Easy.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 20. United States
District Attorney Holland is not satis
fled with tho story of the escape of Al
fred E. Bell, alias Crosby, the confessed
jnall pouch thief and swindler, who was
Deing Drougnt trom Denver to Philadel
phia. The District Attorney learned to
day direct from Deputies Baker and
Davis, who had charge of Bell, tho cir
cumstances of tho escape. After hear
ing the statements of the two men, Mr.
Holland said:
"I can hardly credit the stories told by
the two deputies; I can-scarcely believe
that such was the case."
The District Attorney, however, refused
to discuss what flaws appeared to him in
the statement of the deputies. In his
statement to the District Attorney Deputy
Davis said neither he nor Deputy Baker
had ever been in Philadelphia before.
According to tho records of the United
States Marshal's office Davis was in Phil
adelphia on April 24, 1900, having brought
to this city T. J, Stewart a national bank
robber who had been arrested in Denver.
Bell is still at large, no trace of his
whereabouts having been discovered.
